If your music were a flavor, what would it taste like and why?

If my music were a flavor it would taste like chocolate, specifically that white chocolate Hershey's bar or that Hershey's pie from Burger King. Its a guilty pleasure, melts in your mouth, and leaves you wanting more. 

What's a quirky ritual you have before hitting the stage?

I don't have any rituals really. I just make sure I put a smile on my face and have fun. The best performances come from good energy and engaging with the crowd. 

What’s one social issue that you’re passionate about addressing through your platform?

I love to show that women can be whatever they want and do whatever they want. I want women to listen to my music and feel that they can be free of any expectations and rules unduly burdening their lives. We should never be afraid to be and show our true selves. Wear what you want, say what you want, be what you want, love who you want, and love all parts of yourself. I want women to never fear embarrassment or negativity from others. Know yourself and love yourself dearly so the outside world is your playground and not your prison.

If you could time travel to any music era, which would it be and why?

I'd go directly to the 70s. The parties looked too lit. My afro would fit right in, and I could dance all night long and no one would look at me crazy. 

What’s the weirdest thing you've ever written a lyric about?

Interesting question, I think one of my favorite lyrics that is kind of out there or weird, is from my song Scorpio. I say “rearrange my guts like I'm thanksgiving stuffing”, that one had stuck in a lot of people’s heads.

Do you believe in manifesting your goals, and if so, what’s something you've manifested recently?

Definitely, I believe I manifested everything in my life. The world is ours to make, so I believe I manifested everything even the bad things, but I learned to set a goal, an intention, and just push forward and let the universe do the rest. My 10 million dollar manifestation is cooking up right now, I’m just doing other stuff in between.

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be like?

If my life was a movie my soundtrack would be an array of dramatic songs with themes of love, solitude, failure, faith, acceptance, rebirth, and success. The songs would reflect my true innermost thoughts and feelings that I only share with God. 

What song from another genre do you secretly wish you had written?

There's a bunch of songs I wish I wrote. Streets by Doja Cat or Telephone by Lady Gaga.

How does your music help people see the world differently?

I hope my music makes people see women as powerful, autonomous, intelligent beings that can make their life as they choose. They can handle anything and do it while still being pretty.

If you could have one superpower to enhance your artistry, what would it be?

It’s hard to narrow it down to only one, but if I could have one super power that would enhance my artistry, it would be to stop time so I could just create without any noise from the outside world. 

What's one thing you want for the holidays and where can people connect with you?

One thing I want for the holidays is the world to be a better place. The economy to turn up, the racial tensions to die, the wars to end, the environment and ecosystem to heal, overall just want the world to be better for the future generations. 

You can find me anywhere the money at, lol!
